Soroptimist International Bath and District

Club members helped by doing the marking at the Brain of Bath quiz night for Julian House and raised around £10,000.  Will Glennon, a presenter from BBC Wilsthire was there to help also

.

Whilst visiting Budapest, Club member Diane was able to meet up with Edina Bolagh from the SI Budapest Club over a very tasty lunch. We were able to learn about each other’s clubs and hopefully there will be a friendship weekend in Budapest next year.

Members from our club enjoyed observing girls from a variety of schools learning more about STEM subjects in Weston-super-Mare.  There were leading science lecturers from local universities and representatives from local engineering firms encouraging the girls to engineer ideas of their own.

Phil West from the Great Western Air Ambulance gave a talk about the charity at our club meeting on 20th June.  The work that the charity does is truly amazing and welcomes any donated money especially as the charity is not supported by the government or lthe National lottery.   We presented Phil with a cheque.

Nearly 90 ladies enjoyed a wonderful regional AGM today and learnt so much about plastic, anti-human trafficking and slavery, the RNLI and ‘First Women” photographed by Anita Corbin and soon to be an exhibition in London.  Coming together at these meetings is such fun and friendships and established.

It was a perfect day for a bucket collection outside Prior Park Garden Centre on June 9th.  All proceeds will go to the RUH Breast cancer Unit. 

More bedding and towels were given to Cathy Adcock from Julian House today so that she can distribute them to the ladies and families at the Women’s Refuge.  Julian House has taken over the running of the Refuge which is going very well.
